Sweet and sour chicken – United Airlines

Roast chicken with gravy - United Airlines
Served with steamed vegetables, rice, side salad, and dinner roll. Complimentary
San Francisco (SFO) to London (LHR), United Airlines

Ugh, airline food… This was decent at least, but I don’t expect much from United Airlines. It’s just mandatory food to get people full so that they can fall asleep. I can usually sleep for an entire flight, but I had some difficulty falling asleep on this flight so I ended up watching a bunch of movies.

Slow roasted pork belly with crackling – Bedford Tavern

Slow roasted pork belly with crackling - Bedford Tavern
Served with roasted vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, stuffing, roasted potatoes and gravy. £9.95
Bedford Tavern, Brighton ENGLAND

OMG, this Sunday roast had SO much food! I think I could only get through a quarter of this plate before I was down for the count. The pork was super tender and juicy and all the other components were cooked beautifully! The service (bartender and owner) were so great and the Tavern had a very comfortable feel to it. I would definitely recommend this place for a relaxing Sunday roast in a great atmosphere.

Pani puri – The Chilli Pickle

Pani puri - The Chilli Pickle
Mini crispy puri shells with hot and sour tamarind pepper water, herb chutney and chickpea salad. £6.75
The Chilli Pickle, Brighton ENGLAND

Again, something I’ve never had before. These were so fun to eat – filling the puri shells with the flavored water and different sauce, then popping them in your mouth. It was a burst of flavors and textures! Noms!

Mini smoked salmon and avocado yogurt roll – Gail’s Bakery

Mini smoked salmon and avocado roll - Gail's Bakery
Gail’s Bakery, Hove ENGLAND

This place is really cute, and it kinda felt like it could have been a cool, relaxed neighborhood in San Francisco. The service was friendly and the food was good. They have a variety of bakery and breakfast items on the counter or you can order a la carte. Definitely a great place for a relaxed morning.

Arepas mojo – Terre a Terre

Arepas mojo - Terre a Terre
Deep fried sweetcorn chermoula chips served with chilli chelly jelly, avocado coriander chilli garlic hash and a fresh and zesty oregano and lime mojo. £8.95
Terre a Terre, Brighton ENGLAND

Mmm, this was SO tasty! I was a bit apprehensive when my friend said that we were going to a vegetarian restaurant (since I’m a total meat eater), but I will say that I didn’t even miss the meat. I know that’s a bit cliche to say, but it’s totally true! The fried arepas were crispy on the outside and steaming hot on the inside, and they paired perfectly with the jelly and avocado hash.

I’m baaack!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t been blogging in a while, but I’ve been on the East Coast for a few months for work followed by several weeks in Europe. I’m finally back though and getting into my regular routine so I will start posting soon. Thanks for your patience!
